New Massachusetts GOP ad: Elizabeth Warren, “matriarch of mayhem”

TDB: I’m curious: Is there something that is keeping you away from this movement? Is there a reason why you haven’t embraced it?

EW: Look, everybody has to follow the law. That’s the starting point. I’ve been fighting this fight for years and years now. As I see it, this is about two central points: one, this is about the lack of accountability. That Wall Street has not been held accountable for how they broke the economy. The second is a values question, a fundamental fairness around the way that markets have been distorted and families have been hurt. I’m still fighting that fight. I’m just fighting it from this angle. I’m fighting it from … I want to fight it from the floor of the United States Senate. I think that is a place to make this difference.

To answer the second question, join me in a stroll down memory lane by watching the second clip below. Old-school HA readers have seen it before; the DNC rolled it out in August 2009, when tea partiers angry over ObamaCare started showing up to Democrats’ town halls to yell at them. At the first whiff of popular discontent on the right, Obama’s brain trust went full demagogue about “angry mobs.” Fast forward two years and you have leftist protesters fighting with cops, mass arrests, “sexual assault, regular assault, theft, drug dealing” happening at protest campsites, ongoing health hazards in tent cities due to human waste and occasional rat infestations, missing funds, and of course the usual smorgasbord of radical rhetoric from the fringier elements, be they commies, kooks, and/or anti-semites. And yet, miraculously, this not-angry non-mob is the darling of the Democratic Party. Frankly, the most amazing thing about the Massachusetts GOP ad is how easy it is on Warren, focusing mostly on revolutionary boilerplate from OWSers rather than their ominous extracurriculars. So let me ask you again, having now reminded you of what consummate frauds the Democrats are when it comes to civility by protesters. Even granting that the ad is unfair to Warren, does it matter?

A Virginia tea party group is demanding a refund of about $8,000 from the city of Richmond, claiming it was unfairly charged for rallies while Occupy protesters have used the same space for several weeks for free…

Richmond Tea Party spokeswoman Colleen Owens says it’s not fair that her group had to pay fees for permits, portable toilets, police and emergency personnel. The group also had to purchase a $1 million insurance policy.

And so it came to be that the “angry mob” lost eight grand by playing by the rules while America’s Sweethearts get to build their own communes on public land with no interference from the police, even with crime happening right in front of them. Good times. I ask this in all seriousness: Has there been any more egregious double standard towards the right over the last five years than the commentariat’s treatment of OWS versus the tea party? They spent late 2009 and the entirety of 2010 treating conservative protests as a form of domestic terrorism, punctuated by the horrible right-wing attack on Gabby Giffords that wasn’t a right-wing attack at all. And now suddenly their own side is in the streets and behaving vastly worse, yet somehow they’re the last, best hope of the middle class. See Treacher’s post here for just one example of what I mean. Honestly — any worse double standard?

Here’s the Warren ad and the DNC ad. I’m including a third vid, via Breitbart TV, of Lee Stranahan’s look at just how “non-violent” the Oakland protesters were the other night. Mother Jones, to its credit, admitted the truth about that today despite its sympathies for OWS’s cause. Too bad conservatives like Joe Scarborough couldn’t.

Great …Great post.
Really captures the outright hypocrisy of this OWS from top to bottom.

. I ask this in all seriousness: Has there been any more egregious double standard towards the right over the last five years than the commentariat’s treatment of OWS versus the tea party?

…I would say yes…
………….the faux outrage over war coming from liberals in the streets for 10 years that now are shouts of jubilation and screams of “smart power” as President Obama launched a war against an oil rich country…without Congressional approval….that did not attack us and posed no imminent threat.

If you imagine what a reprobate would do, you can predict what OWS has planned. When it comes time to finally clear the scum out, they will use girls in their 20’s – and maybe kids, too – as human shields. That will either stop the operation entirely or produce video of great propaganda value for the “movement.”

Unless the NYPD can execute an operation with surprise, which they are entirely capable of doing, when not handcuffed by Nurse Bloomy.

So it will be Gaza North, a permanent camp of losers, geeks, fools, criminals, and grifters who occasionally chant “Down with the Man!” just to keep the donations rolling in.

They aren’t going to change a thing other than to create a strange tourist attraction in the middle of the city, hell I wouldn’t be surprised if campers start offering tours of the tent city to out of towners.

Rosen and Shirkey are professors of journalism at New York University. O’Keefe made what appears to be an undercover video of a classroom setting. Rosen and Shirky are openly discussing the New York Times strategy to legitimize President Obama during the 2008 campaign, their strategy to help Occupy Wall Street, tax loopholes for NPR, their unwillingness to cover Michelle Bachmann, and a strategy to generate revenue for the Times that involves disparaging conservatives.

The most striking thing about this is the lack of any ethical consideration whatsoever. And the hubris.

Just another example of the jounalisto corruption by our liberal MSM to push their liberal agenda.

You can’t say that a small group of nuts represents a whole group…if it makes liberals look bad.

You can’t say that a complete lack of racism proves a group is not racist…if that group disagrees with liberals.

You can’t say anything if the people with jurisdiction over politically correct speech decide your speech undermines their absolute authority to suppress your speech. It’s the totalitarian tautology of conditional free speech. Speech is only free if you meet the qualifications, which means rigorous avoidance of any truth, unless it makes conservatives look bad.

That woman gives me the creeps. The more ads with her face and hippie hair the better. It doesn’t hurt to let voters know what they’ll be stuck looking at for 6 years if they vote for her and her radicalism.

Those with young children, please protect them; don’t make them choose. Live within your means; be prepared. Love one another and realise who seeks to destroy you. We are all together; we do not depart from one another in times of trouble. Be strong. Don’t let the power or the air destroy you. Be with one another and be strong.

Our local Occupy Group is small and hasn’t had any arrests (as of a couple of days ago), but they too have been let off the hook for buying insurance. Our local tea party needs to address this. I’m pretty sure we had to do the insurance and everything else for our Alamo Plaza rallies.

I can’t seem to find it .. why didn’t you paste a link?

preallocated on October 27, 2011 at 9:25 PM

Oh, I keep trying to put links….I can seldom make it work! There are a few good souls above our posts who were able to link it for me. : ). With big thanks to them : )
Go to sipseystreetirregulars.blogspot.com for a wonderful compendium of details.

The Republicans should extend the ad’s concept into a nationwide campaign, using every democrat who spoke up for OWS against backdrops of the disorder, ugliness and violence. There is material here for the entire 2012 season, just plug in different politicians and different scenes. Make them eat it, every last bite.

Simpletons and slow people want to rectify a 100 years of the liberal march in one election cycle. Think we are betrayed by pols. Think lecturing the “right” principles will sway the whole world.

No. No. No. Warren is my fight. Always has been. The fight is not pols who live in blue or purple states who do what “we the people” – their constituents — wants. No. No. The real fight happens before politics is even part of the discussion.

Me and Warren are like peas and carrots. On different ends of the pole. I will crush her. She is evil.

You pretend conservatives go ahead and get emotional fulfillment pretending Romney and Brown are Marxist.

It’s up to Republican politicians to loudly, and articulately point out this double standard. If they leave it up to Rush, Sean, etc, etc, it’s just background noise. You know the old saying about good men doing nothing in the face of evil. The Republican party has done nothing to combat Liberal bias in the media, the entertainment industry, and academia over the course of 40 years, except make a few sarcastic remarks here and there.

As long as they continue to take the above the fray approach, nothing will change. 1,000 ACORN and Planned Parenthood stings by citizen guerilla Conservatives won’t change it. The Republican party has to change. Obama’s civility speech after Gabby Giffords shooting was a scandalous example of tag team propaganda between the Democrats and the media. The media creates a story out of whole cloth (Sarah Palin’s crosshairs ad and Tea Party anger either caused a murder, or very well could have caused a murder). Obama then seizes on this non-story and gives a totally unnecessary and gratuitous speech about civility.

Not one Republican calls him out on it. And not one Republican has called him out on his silence over the lack of civility on the part of the OWS protesters.

I think it would be refreshing that for just one single solitary time in my own lifetime, I see the people of Massachusetts actually elect a candidate who is not a member of some political dynasty, is not a certified RINO, is not an annoyingly irritating gay twit, or, in the case of Elizabeth Warren, is not a complete loose cannon off-the-wall loony.

I know, of course, I am asking for a lot here. We are, after all, talking about Massachusetts here.

Richmond Tea Party spokeswoman Colleen Owens says it’s not fair that her group had to pay fees for permits, portable toilets, police and emergency personnel. The group also had to purchase a $1 million insurance policy.

The same thing happened here in Tucson. The outrageous double-standard, and the MSM’s refusal to report anything about it, is maddening.

I’m sick and tired of being outraged at the left’s double standards on just about everything. Mr. President has gotten a pass on basically lying to the American people about everything he said he would and would not do once he got in office. The lies, the coverups, the czars, the lobbyists, the cronyism, inciting class warfare…I could go on and on. And now these fleabaggers are getting a pass for building tent cities, defecating on private property, trashing our parks, creating huge burdens on our police and sanitation workers, and for what? No one really knows, but what is known is that as long as it’s coming from the left, whatever it is is just fine and they’re encouraged to just keep on doing it. Thank you, Hotair and others, for bringing these two-faced hypocrites to the front pages of your blog.

There isn’t a thing they are doing that doesn’t meet the playbook of the communist party and any despots plan book, including that famous one dedicated to Satan by Obama and Hillary’s soul mentor Saul Alinsky.

I have yet to absolve the GOP from their silent acquiescent to such evil.

I am not certain as to which party is actually doing the most damage-the socialists or the pretend opposition that prevents true opposition and reform from ever occurring.
